Ian Chamberland Frequently asked questions
What does Clay do?
Clay is a data enrichment and prospecting platform that combines 50+ data sources (Clearbit, Apollo, LinkedIn, and more) in a spreadsheet-like interface. RevOps and sales teams use it to build targeted outbound lists, enrich CRM data, and trigger personalized messaging at scale.
How much does Clay cost?
Clay pricing starts at $149/month (Starter) and scales with the number of credits (data lookups) you consume. Most high-volume outbound teams land on $349 to $699/month. It typically replaces several point-solution data tools, so the ROI math works for teams doing serious outbound.
Is Clay better than Apollo for enrichment?
They serve different use cases. Apollo includes its own contact database plus sequencing as a one-stop outbound platform. Clay is a data orchestration layer that can pull from Apollo and 50+ other sources, giving you more enrichment depth and flexibility. High-performance outbound teams often use both.
